Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of extending the operating hours on the living conditions of nearby residents, having particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The absence of technical evidence quantifying baseline noise and demonstrating that extended operating hours would not result in significant adverse noise effects on nearby residential properties, combined with the inherent difficulty of controlling customer-generated disturbance during late-night hours when residents would be sleeping.
